Autumn olive is easily confused with a closely related species, the Russian Olive. Autumn olive has nitrogen-fixing root nodules which allow it to thrive in poor soils. Typical habitats are disturbed areas, roadsides, pastures and fields in a wide range of soils. Autumn olive is drought tolerant. It does not do well on wet sites or in densely forested areas. Russian Olive can be found in dry to moist soils, but does particularly well in sandy flood plains.
